STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI Foreign Titles Seem to Settle Debate, Add Insight About Film

Potential spoilers ahead!

The recently revealed French and Spanish titles of upcoming film Star Wars: The Last Jedi seem to have settled the debate about the title's meaning.

Possible spoilers ahead for Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

LucasFilm has tweeted the French and Spanish title cards for Star Wars: The Last Jedi (via The Independent), which seem to imply that the title refers to multiple Jedi rather than a singular "Last Jedi."

In French, the title is "Les Deniers Jedi," while in Spanish it is "Los Ultimos Jedi." Both titles use grammar that refers to a plural subject - in this case "Jedi" - rather than a singular subject. For the non-English majors out there, "Jedi" is one of several words which in English is spelled the same when referring to one Jedi and multiple Jedi.
